Ratings and reviews

This app is better organized than the other local news apps. BUT I have problems with the articles not loading when I click on them. I end up closing it, counting to 3 and clicking again. Sometimes it takes doing this twice, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. This is about 50% in "top stories", but 90% in the "latest" category. Despite this issue, I still use the app bc it's the best of our local news apps

The new update only allows the sharing of certain articles. If I ever find a replacement app for local news, I will use it instead of this one. The app developer claims that all pages can be shared, but how? The articles that can be shared have a little box with an arrow pointing up from them at top of the screen. The other, unshareable, articles do not have this icon, instead there is a refresh icon in its place.

The app is great other than the TechWire articles. Not sure why the type of article could make any difference at all, but those articles are almost unreadable because anytime I try to scroll down to continue reading, the app scrolls left or right to the next article. It doesn't make sense why it would only be those articles, but in my experience, that's the case, or else I would think it's my phone. Update: being fixed, thanks! Otherwise, the current location in weather isn't working right now.
